Windows screen display shows black areas and suffers from delays

No ratings

SUMMARY:

Over a period of time without a reboot, the screen display becomes sluggish to respond and contains patches of black and can become distorted until a reboot is performed

DESCRIPTION:

The Graphics Device Interface (GDI) is a core operating system component responsible for representing graphical objects on the screen display including the user interface of Webroot SecureAnywhere. Each running program that needs to show something on the screen consumes GDI objects.

Although not proven, our current research leads to believe that there are circumstances in which Webroot SecureAnywhere does not release GDI objects when it has finished with them. When too many are in used, Windows is unable to draw any more GDI objects, leading to misbehaving software and frozen and unresponsive program operation.
